Regional donors sought for July 4 festivities

RUTLAND — The town of Rutland’s Fourth of July Committee has set up its schedule of events for the 62nd annual activities and parade. The fireworks will be held at 9:20 p.m. Thursday, July 3.

The theme this year is “Rutland … the Beat Goes On.” Committee members have reached out to all the Rutland residents and businesses to donate whatever they can afford during these difficult times to help pay for the concerts, parade bands and fireworks.

Residents of the other Wachusett towns and beyond are also asked to help.
